Is there some way you can view what is on the external drive? If you're using the Finder to drag & drop, then you will see a little progress window open up. My advice would be to click on the Source button in Silverkeeper, choose your whole Macintosh HD, click on Destination button & choose the external drive.ĭo you look for the wheel of fortune spinning knowing that a file is being copied?
The Hard Drive is LaCie, Silverkeeper is LaCie's software to make copying or backing up to the HD easier. So do I use Silverkeeper as the process to copy something to LaCie? I understood no software was necessary to backup or copy or is LaCie just hardware and software needed to bundle needed because if I understand you just have to drag the file into the drop down area of LaCie and not in any folder is that it? Is this not the process and than I wonder if the logo on desktop does not show LaCie Disk. So I wonder if I've installed LaCie properly since when I click on the icon to open as a destination, I only get the folders,etc. I've done backups on disk- slideshows/iphoto/songs etc., and wonder why when in those applications, it doesn't recognize a destination like an external drive like if burning a disk?ĭo I need to accomplish backup in disk Utility? It is a very basic question. My question is "How do I back up iphoto or any folder/file to an external drive"? There is nothing in Tiger for dummies like me, nothing in the LaCie just shows installing and partitioning, nothing for someone who has never backed up to an external drive. iphoto application opens up.įile System : Mac OS Extended (Journaled) (2) When I double click the LaCie logo drop down contains 3 items - LaCie 10GB Online - LaCie Folder w/ Manual and Software - LaCie exe. (1) Is it supposed to say LaCie Disk or just the blue LaCie logo? (see attached)Īs I try to figure how to copy a file/folder/tune and get it highlighted to transfer to LaCie, the logo on the desktop does not say LaCie Disk.
In Disk Utilities, LaCie partition says Apple_HFS.
